been a household word in the homes of its
subscribers, and a synonym for accuracy of

noted throughout the country for the indepen-

carries more weight or whose influence is more
widely extended than the SIMS, a fact upon

Mason's Democrat wants to know why 1t
is that West Virginia does not feel this
present business boom. 1t may be in part
because the Democrat has been endeavoring
and has partially succeeded in driving bus
mess and capital ont of this State by its
continued senseless and mOnOtonous abuse
of men who have capital, and enterprise and
public spirit enough to invest it. There Is
only one class of capitalists that Mason can
look upan with the least bit OF allowance,
and that class is the holders of West Nir-
